Machine vision for automation and increased efficiency

Machine vision has the potential to revolutionize agriculture. Industrial cameras offer a promising solution to increase yields and ensure quality and sustainability. With precise imaging and intelligent analytics, they enable better monitoring and control of crops, livestock and machinery.

Safeguarding a producer's investment
Improved animal welfare and plant health through better use of fertilizers, pesticides and medicines
Performance and accuracy
Precise camera technology with low latencies for variable environmental conditions with visSWIR or 3D technology
Durable & robust
Durable, shock-resistant cameras with optional IP67 housing are designed for rugged, shock-resistant, and waterproof performance
Customizable & flexible
Camera systems with small form factor and low weight, thus compatible for any application

Typical fields of application in the agricultural industry

From automated production operations and monitoring systems to plant phenotyping: our vision solutions offer a wide range of applications.

Automated cultivation and harvesting

Robot-embedded vision components are used in crop sensors, weather stations, agricultural machinery and UAVs, and must withstand harsh environments and have low latencies.

Monitoring systems

For monitoring and analyzing plant growth as shape and color change, reducing pest infestations, managing nutrients, and for field analysis, farms are increasingly using vision solutions.

Plant phenotyping

Phenotyping is used to closely analyze the appearance (phenotype) and growth of plants. Image processing helps establish relationships between phenotype, genotype, and environmental factors, e.g. to analyze drought stress.

UAV and drones

To reduce crop losses, farmers are turning to "unmanned aerial vehicles" (UAVs) or drones. Imaging systems such as thermal imaging and color cameras provide early detection of water shortages, pest infestations, and nutrient deficiencies.

Fish farming

Image processing enables aquaculture operators to closely monitor and control their fish stock and its biomass: fish population, growth, feed quantity, fish health, water temperature and quality, and oxygen.

Automated processes

In livestock breeding, work processes are increasingly being automated. Among other things, milk carousels or autonomous milking systems/robots are used to guide the milking cluster to the cow's udder completely automatically thanks to optical sensors, which ensures greater efficiency.
